THE editor of the West Tennessee
Wing in reply to our neighborily s1gi
gestions concerning the crookedness Of
Gov. Taylor and the Wings defense
thereof says:
In the appropriations OF lands for
school purposes in the past, and to rail-
road corporations, has Congress asked
to control the gifts after they have been
made, and say just what shall be done
with them? We think not. One of
the largest annual appropriations Of
money made by Congress, is for pen
pensions, but does it claim "supervis-
ion" over the ten thousand pensioners
throughout the country, and say just
how they shall spend the money which
they receive every month in the year?
We think not.
This is an evasion of the whole ques-
ton of Supervision" and the Wing
ought to deal fairly with its readers and
tell them that it favors "protec-
tive" (?) tariff to perpetually burden the
southern people, IN return Tor which
they are to receive as an annual bounty
a very small part of their own money
Tor school purposes. When does the
Wing or Gov. Taylor propose to reduce
taxation to a revenue" standard? No
man claiming to be a Democrat has any
moral right to violate the constitution
and the pledges Of his party fOrthe sake
Of "a mess OF postage."

GAINESVILLE, the third greatest to-
bacco market in the United States,
with its river and railroad facilities
ought to 60 to work on sound business
principles and build up iron furnaces
in the city and south of the river. No
other city has such natural advantages
Birmingham is located in country
unfit for agriculture; Florence fronts
on Tennessee river, but the country
back OF it is as poor as picture OF pow
erty, while GAINESVILLE fronts on the
Cumberland river and is supported by
the rich lands Of Todd, Christian and
Robertson counties ff1any acres OF which
could be transformed into market gar
dens that would supply d population

THIS is the first honest and truthful
statement ever made by a northern
man in regard to the cause oil the war.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, at the
first annual dinner OF the Southern
Society OF New York used these words:
Gentlemen, the North Graves loving
and lasting peace with the South, 1t
asks no humiliation concession. 1t rec
ognizes as chief cause OF the war the
Constitutional question OF the right Of
secession, which question, until settled
by the war, had neither right nor a
wrong side to it. Our forefathers sim
ply evaded it in framing the Consttu-
ton, believing fit were settled either
way the union Of all the thirteen States
could not be accomplished"

IT is in order now for Bob's paternal

the other one he sent to his hopeful

Robert should get out of the hog
rancho and return to the old gothic
farm and own pike the prodigal of

fore the Democracy and in thy sight. "
And then the sorrowful parent should
exclalm to his servant: "Let the prod

This rapid increase is due mainly TO
the establishment OF iron furnaces and
manufactures. To the twelve great
furnaces already in operation in Bir-
mingham there are to be added ten
more this year, some OF which will be
OF greater capacity.

things in the papers every week, and
still they sit here surrounded by supe-

There is an old story in theBible which
relates that when the idlers in the city

people of GAINESVILLE are waiting, and
the story doesn't say that n single one
of those fellows ever earned or gowned
during his life enough land to con-
tain his bones after he was dead. This
waiting because no man hath hired

THE DIFFERENCE.

Our first sovereign neighbor to the
eastward = Colorado-is a prosperous
and growing Commonwealth. There is
this difference between that State and
this. In Colorado the mines belong to
Colorado men, who take an interest IN
developing every resource OF the State.
The ten to twelve millions of dollars
annually produced by the mines are ex-
pended within the State right along in
bringing out other resources and estab-
fishing new industries. The money pro-
duced by their mines goes back into
solid brick blocks in Denver, or is in
vested in the construction OF railroads
or irrigating canals throughout the State.
Colorado has q wonderful irrigating
system and railroads tap almost every
town in the State, near or remote,
while Denver is growing as scarcely
any other city in the West. ALI this
comes in q large degree from the fact
that Colorado retains within her borders
about all of the money produced by her
mines.
How different with Nevada. Ours is
shipped off to San Francisco, and there
is hardly a successful miner, who even
lives in the State, much less to reinvest
any portion of his wealth here. Sup.
pose that all of the millions produced
by Nevada mines had gone back into
other enterprises in the State, what
signal results might not have been at.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-When ex-
Governor Robert E. Pattison was pre-
scented to the Allentown Convention
as a candidate for judicial nomination,
was withdrawn, because, as learned
from an intimate friend, he expects to
receive higher honors, there was a
buz of inquiry as to what was meant.
To-day it was announced that the ex-
Governor is to be appointed Secretary
Of the Interior, to succeed Secretary
Lamar, who is to be appointed United
States Supreme Judge. Governor
Pattison is understood to be the Presi-
dents personal selection for the Office
and his probable appointment is IA
vorably received in Democratic Cir

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1887.
HEARsT.

United States Senator George Hearst,
of California, passed west a few days ago
on his way home from a visit of inspec-
ton to his mining interests In the Black
Hills region of Dakota. He was inter-
viewed by reporters Of the press at sew
eral points with reference to both gen.
eral and Pacific Coast matters, and in
every instance talked with the greatest
good sense on public topics. The i'm.
preston that some newspapers have at.
tempted to create, to the effect that Mr..
Hearst is not a man of marked ability,
is absolutely without foundation. We
have known him intimately and well for
a score of years, and we know him to be
a man of superior judgment and strong,
good sense. True he may lack in some
degree the finer polish and dudish at.
tainments of some whom he may meet
in the forum of the Senate, but there is
not one among them who will be
equipped with a larger store of what we
call in this western world, "sound
horse sense" than George Hearst. And
he is a self.made, plain man of the peo-
pie. OF all the men on this Coast who
have become millionaires and attained
to high political station, George Hearst
is the easiest of access. High or low,
rich or poor can approach him on per-
fectly familiar terms and without any
circumlocution whatever. You need no
card and are not required to run the
gauntlet OF adoorkeeper to get at George
Hearst. His latch.string is out to every
man he ever knew, no matter what his
condition or position in life. He never
goes back on al acquaintance. You do
not have to cool your heels for an hour
in a hallway waiting to get an interview
with him. In short, he does not put on
airs nor is he afflicted with that vulgar
complaint commonly called in this u
try "the big.head." In all of these par.
t~iculars he displays more good sense
than some of his critics. And these,
too, are the qualities Of heart and mind
that have so endeared him to the people
OF California. It is a mistake to sup.
pose that his election of a year ago was
due to a lavish expenditure of money.
His personal popularity with the people
of the mountains and the valleys con.
tributed more to the success of the Dem.
ocratic ticket in that election than all
other causes and factors combined. If
there had been no George Hearst there
would have been no Democratic victory.
The masses were for him, and for the
reasons we have named. We like him
because he is to-day, Senator and mil.
~lionaire though he be-, the same plain,
familiar George Hearst that he was when
he wore canvas pants and worked in the
mines in Nevada City, California, away
back in the early ffties.

NO RULERS IN THIS COUNTRY

MO IN THIS COUNTRY.
An exchange, in speaking of some
matters appertaining to the course of the
Administration on certain public CUES.
tions, has the bad taste, or q want of
knowledge of the genius Of this Govern.
ment, to refer to those in authority for
the time at Washington as "Our rulers
at Washington" By this is meant, of
course, the President and Cabinet and
the heads of Departments generally.
But there are no I" rulers " in this coun.
try, and we trust there never will
be in the common acceptation of the
term. In q Republic the people are sup.
posed to "rule," and those selected tenn.
porarily to discharge certain official
functions are the servants of the people,
not their rulers" It will be we'll to
draw the line and mark the distinction
unmistakbly. It will be a bad day for
this Republic-for the cause of free gov.
eminent among men-when the rule
shall have been reversed. In some of
the monarchies of the Old World the
Sovereign, the head, the King, usurping
all power of the people claims a divine
right to ~"rule." That is the difference
between their system and ours. 1t
always CRATES harshly on our ears to hear
any one talking about "rulers" in this
country. We also despise the small
creature who cringes and looks.up to the
individual in official place for the time
being as q "rulsr." Equally do we
despise the puffed4sssp ninoompoop. whom
chance. OF circumstance, not ability,
have thrown to the official surface, and
prssuming on his ephemeral greatness
imagines himself better than his neigh.
bors. and by his ignorant. pompous,
demeanor and cheek, would seem to say
81 IN q ruler" There are living, strut.
ting, illustrations of this class all over
the land. They are to be found at close
intervals all along the line Of official
station. Some have it worse than others.
But the mildest degree is intolerable to
q sensible man or woman. No, no, let
there never be any "rulers" in this coun.
try other than the people. The corpora.
tions may take o hand and run things
for a while. but their "rule " will not
prevail always. A wholesome popular
sentiment will curb them in the end,
causing them to sue for terms, if gov.

pie be not a myth and a failure. Vox
populi is the true business.
